Pilates works throughout the body strengthening core muscles and improving posture, balance and flexibility.

The Lido's new Pilates class is a gentle class suitable for those completely new to Pilates, as well as for those returning to Pilates after a break, and is led by Alice Becker, Pilates instructor and personal trainer.

The practice of Pilates has many benefits, including a reduction in aches and pains, an improvement in sports performance and a boost to feelings of fitness, strength and wellbeing.

This class aims to build fitness safely for people of any age (16+) who are generally healthy, but it is not suitable for those with a specific diagnosis such as osteoporosis nor for those recovering from knee or hip surgery.

This is an outdoor class in the peaceful surroundings of the Lido lawn, with tented cover if wet. Please come prepared for outdoor contions and wear warm layers of clothing.

This session is limited to 12 participants.

New for 2025, this is a class based on swim technique and fitness for adults 16+, in a small group of maximum 12 swimmers. It's a hybrid of swimming tips, drills and fun circuits, designed to take your swimming to a new level. Open to all abilities, as long as you can swim 50m, you can work at your own pace and we will tailor the classes to your needs.

Swim Fit is designed by our swim teacher Jess Miles to be so motivating you won't realise how hard you're working!

A great water-based workout for anyone aged 16+, teaching some of the techniques of synchronised swimming and working your best moves into new routines, practicing coordination and timing along the way. No experience at all is necessary, but you must be able to swim a length of the pool (25m) and be comfortable going underwater. Artistic swimming - or Synchro- provides an intensive workout, great for the core, and it’s also a fun and sociable way to exercise to music.

Tai Chi blends physical movement and meditation; it’s a gentle way to maintain health and fitness, deal with stress and enhance feelings of happiness. Each class is a complete experience and can be done as a one-off, suitable for complete beginners, but the more classes you attend the more insight and benefit is possible into this ancient practice.

Classes are held outdoors on the Lido lawn in a peaceful natural environment, and it can be done seated if you need to rest or stabilise yourself.

Come wearing warm loose comfortable clothing which allows you free movement. Wear flat-soled shoes, or work barefoot, and bring a bottle of water.

A chance to swim is included at the end of this session, so bring your swimming kit too.
